Mountain Biking 101
WE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO GET OUT AND ENJOY THE TRAIL, SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY
New to mountain biking and want to be better? We can help! We've been riding off-road since before suspension was a thing. Let us take you out and help you get comfortable and maybe even faster on your mountain bike.

This is a 1 on 1 environment
Everyone is different, you may have some skills, you might want new skills or you might simply want to fully understand the basics. We help you learn not simply based on our experience but also our training. We have been formerly certified by IMBA and are currently licensed as coaches with NICA. From the fundamentals to advanced, we have you covered, but we won't teach you how to catch air! We firmly believe a bicycle is faster when both wheels are on the ground and you are fully in control! |
How does it work?
Private lessons are $175 for a 2-hour session. We will spend the first part of the session (30 or so minutes) discussing your goals and doing a couple drills based on your learning objective. The next bit of time is practice, practice, practice, then we will do a 1-hour ride. We will utilize one of two trail systems for the training based on your comfort and feedback. We will also help you set proper tire pressure, suspension pressure and make sure your position on the bike is optimal! |
Some things of note:
Your bicycle must be in good operational order and be capable of off-road environments. If you aren't sure, well we are a bike shop and we can help ensure it is ready! A helmet is required, hydration is required, food (if needed) is required, a basic repair kit (tube, inflation) is required. We strongly recommend a tubeless tire setup, a dropper post and proper technical riding apparel! You are welcome to bring any other safety equipment (such as guard or pads) you feel comfortable with.
Mountain biking is inherently dangerous, you will be required to sign a liability waiver.

Every bicycle, person and situation are unique. Rather than telling you that you must learn to do all the things you need to know, let's start by listening to you and understanding what you want to know! Our goal is to make sure you are enjoying your bike...
